Natural Whetstones
Natural Whetstones
Each natural whetstone is different, unlike synthetic whetstones, with variations in size, grit, and overall shape. These stones are super finishing stones. Since they are natural stones, they don’t have a specific grit number, but it is between #10000~#20000. These stones are typically used at the end of a sharpening/polishing progression.
Our advice is to invest in a good set of synthetic whetstones ranging through #400, #1000, #3000, #5000-#6000 and #8000. You would progress to this finishing stone after a #6000~#8000 whetstone.
